Failure Of Breast Implants

EDM number 2573 in 2010-12, proposed by Paul Flynn on 10/01/2012.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House is alarmed at the inadequate protection of patients against faulty medical devices by Government andthe industry-funded Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency; notes that evidence of failure in breast implants in the UK greatly understated the dangers revealed in the rest of Europe and the US; draws attention to reports that recalls of devices are rising but manufacturers continue to suppress information on device failures; and calls for a review that will ensure that UK patients have guarantees on the safety and efficacy of devices equivalent to that of patients in the US.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
